An Evening in Mexico

thisnewdayMost folks reading this probably don't know that Mexico is north of Syracuse NY. It actually is, and I'm driving my grandson there to play soccer tonight. No, no, no, not THAT Mexico, lol. Mexico NY is a small town a few miles south of Lake Ontario.
I'd almost rather we WERE going to the land of those mythical neighbors who are paying for tRump's border wall. At least we'd be flying there and staying overnight in comfortable accommodations while drinking bottled water.
As it is, it's a 45 minute drive on Rt 81 and the game doesn't start until 7 PM. Which means we probably won't be home much before 10 PM on a school night.
Which, I guess we'll survive as long as we don't have another night like earlier this week when we had a home game and sat for 2 hours waiting for the opposing team to show up because their bus driver didn't.
We won that one, 3-2, but don't need to experience insult added to injury. Just let us get there, play the game, and go home. With another win. Of course.
Anyway, I'd already made alternate arrangements for the kid to get back to his mom's after the bus ride home, in the event that today had been my "special day" at the dentist. It wasn't, so I'll be making the drive.
So hey, what am I griping about? I'll be going to Mexico, watching an evening of soccer, and then have 45 minutes in the car talking to my grandson afterwards.
Now, if only something unfortunate could happen to his cell phone, lol...
